Receta Easy Garlic Tomato Chutney Recipe | Spicy Tomato Kara Chutney | Side Dish For Idli Dosa
A simple and quick tomato garlic chutney recipe that is packed with flavors and goes well as a side dish with idli and dosas. This red chutney is apt to pack for office or school as it stays good all day long and does not spoil easily and its also suitable to pack while travelling long distances.
This is an Andhra style of tomato kara chutney which my Mom learned from her neighbor when she stayed there. The garlic is added raw for making this kara chutney along with other ingredients which makes it even more flavorful and a definite treat if you are a garlic lover.
Though I love the flavor of garlic, I simply can’t stand in chutney form, so whenever I make this chutney I sauté the garlic pods a little to get rid of the raw smell. My younger son also does not like the smell that it leaves in your mouth after eating garlic, so sautéing takes care of that problem.
If you are game enough, you can use it as a spread on bread too and top it with veggies and cheese and enjoy it as a sandwich.

Ingredients:
- Tomatoes, ripe – 2

- Oil – 1 tsp
Instructions:
Chop the tomatoes finely. Peel the garlic and keep it ready.
Heat a pan with oil. Add whole dry red chilies and sauté for 10 seconds.
Add garlic pods and sauté over low flame till it changes color slightly. Take off stove and let it cool completely.
Transfer this to a mixie jar. Add the chopped tomatoes, salt and grind to a smooth paste using little water.
Heat the same pan with oil. Add mustard seeds and when they splutter, add urad dal and curry leaves and roast for 10 seconds.
Add the ground chutney, mix well and let it cook for 1/2 to 1 min.

Notes:
You can skip roasting the garlic and straight away add it to the mixie jar along with tomatoes and grind.
Use standard tomatoes instead of hybrid ones for a tangy taste.
Adjust the whole red chilies according to your spice level.
Using sesame oil for tempering gives the chutney a wonderful flavor.
